So I said she wouldn't eat that canned food. Well for the last few days
around midday, she has been crying for more food. Because I only have a
limited amount of the pouched food that she likes (I do have an outstanding
online order and have since found a local store that sells it), I gave her a
can of the food. Although she didn't eat the whole thing, she did eat about
half of the can. So maybe there is hope.

Cats are like that. Save the cans, and just give it to her another time.
The food in the pouches is not really very good for them.

Why do you say that? The vet said I *should* give it to her because she
could use the extra moisture. It's the Wellness, grain free. Just meat,
vegetables and sometimes fruit, like blueberries.

I was told that by a vet. If your vet said it is OK then listen to him.
You may be dealing with a better product. I was told not to give the
moist pouches from the grocery store, because they contain too many carbs,
and will make the cat get fat.

Wellness isn't a grocery store brand, I believe. At least I've never
found grain-free cat food in a supermarket, outside of the meat
department, that is.

Maui doesn't eat grocery store food.

Not a cat person here(alergic) but I was told to never give the dog those
sei-moits looks like haburger dog foods as sugar was the added ingredient
to keep it moist. As a dibetic, my ears pricked up with that
information:-)

Those are what we used to feed to our dogs many years ago. The one dog we
didn't keep. He was a real wild one. We didn't know any better and nobody
actually took the time to train him.

Our next door was a small one. Very sweet and scared of her shadow. She
was more like a cat in many ways. She lived to be 17. Eventually she had
liver problems and had to be put on a special diet. I can remember breaking
those patties in half though, or if we bought the pouches, giving just half
a pouch. She also got something called Blue Mountain Stew. Looked really
good. Had chunks of meat, potatoes and peas in it. I don't think we were
brand loyal in those days, but we didn't have a lot of money. We never went
with the cheapest food, but more likely bought what we had coupons for.

Exactly. That's the same stuff they use to make the moist food for cats.

I don't think so. I've never seen the hamburger type for cats. It was
called Semi-Moist. Not moist. KenLRation was one such. Do they even make
that any more?

As for pouches available in the grocery stores, I don't know. Maui has
never eaten those. In fact she hasn't had grocery store food for years.

We give ours mostly canned food, but leave some high quality dry food out
for whenever. The vet always told us not to feed the moist food, but that
was a long time ago. They may have made a healthier version since then.
